Annal\u00f9’s work and, more generally, her work as an artist, has value characteristics that reflect many aspects of the Stonefly identity in an important and above all immediate way, as if it were a work done on commission. In reality it is not so and this represents the beauty of the meeting between the artist and the company, and what if well managed, can make the difference!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Flying feet work Represents the winged feet linked to the myth of Hermes, messenger and protector of athletes. In addition to a concept of lightness, they also include one of physical protection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fly are Annal\u00f9’s butterflies through which the artist transmits the sense of metamorphosis, of passage, of evolution. The artist tries to fix in his works the moment in which the metamorphosis takes place, to understand the mechanisms and forces that underlie the process inherent in the transition from one state to another, whether it is a state merely physical, which of a psychological or spiritual state. Annal\u00f9, in his personal research, understands metamorphosis, in a broad sense, as the fundamental step to progress towards a new reality, towards a new consciousness, towards a new physical and cognitive dimension. In addition to being a value for a company that innovates, metamorphosis is also reflected in the function and technology of Stonefly footwear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fly is also a part of the company name.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]On the winged steps of Hermes by Igor Zanti<\/b><\/p>\n

In Annal\u00f9’s works there is always a sense of metamorphosis, of passage, of evolution, a sort of journey between different states, between different realities, a spirit of research that shares some typical aspects of alchemical science. The artist tries to fix in his works the moment in which the metamorphosis takes place, to understand the mechanisms and forces that underlie the process inherent in the transition from one state to another, whether it is a state merely physical, which of a psychological or spiritual state. Annal\u00f9, in his personal research, understands metamorphosis, in a broad sense, as the fundamental step to progress towards a new reality, towards a new consciousness, towards a new physical and cognitive dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to understand how the tactile and material aspect is one of the fundamental elements of Annal\u00f9’s work, as if the artist wants to suggest to the public the effort and energy that is released when a metamorphosis or the transition between a state and the other takes place: the effort of the chrysalis to become a butterfly, of the mineral to free itself from the rock that surrounds it. Annal\u00f9’s work arises in that moment of transition between painting and sculpture, in a hybrid terrain that however allows the artist to experiment with different expressive possibilities. It leads us through an initiatory journey, mediated by a deeply feminine sensitivity and a sense of rarefied poeticity, a journey where we will meet ancient and ancestral symbols, where we will rediscover elements that are the basis of Western culture, which will ask us questions about human existence , on the value of art as a means of knowledge, a journey that we will undertake alongside the artist following the winged steps of Hermes.<\/span><\/p>\n
